Hey, guys! As some of you might recall, I received the above box from Olay a while back but hadn’t done any reviews yet because as you can see, I received a lot of products (not complaining!). It took a while for me to try them out. Some of them I gave to my friend to try out, some went to my sister, some to my mom and I used the rest. For this post, I will review the Olay Fresh Effects product line and I will make another post for the other product line. Let’s get started!
Olay Fresh Effects {Va-Va-Vivid!} Powered Contour Cleansing System – $13.99
I used this product and I loved it. It’s compact so it’s good to take when traveling; a good alternative to those bigger sonic brushes such as the Clarisonic. It’s operated by one AAA battery (included) and also comes with a small Olay Fresh Effects cleanser. The other thing I like is that the bristles are sort of rubber like instead of regular brush bristles so it’s easier to clean and doesn’t get as dirty. It does a pretty good deep cleaning and is cheaper than those sonic types of brushes I mentioned. Of course, it doesn’t work as well, but for $14, it does a really good job! Recommended!
Olay Fresh Effects {Out Of This Swirled!} Deep Pore Clean Plus Exfoliating Scrub, Essence of White GrapeFruit & Green Tea AND Olay Fresh Effects {Out Of This Swirled!} Deep Pore Clean Plus Exfoliating Scrub, Essence of Honeysuckle + White Tea – $5.99
My friend tried both of these and she really liked them. She said both of them cleansed the skin very well, but she liked the smell of the white grapefruit and green tea better. Recommended (both)!
Olay Fresh Effects {Shine, Shine Go Away!} Shine Minimizing Cleanser AND Olay Fresh Effects {Bead Me Up!} Exfoliating Cleanser – $5.99
My friend tried out both of these and I tried out the Shine, Shine Go Away and we loved them! The exfoliating cleanser is great and isn’t too harsh. The shine cleanser is really good although I would suggest using it in the morning so it helps keep the shine at bay while you’re wearing makeup. If you use it at night, there’s really no sense in it because you’re just going to apply your creams and go to sleep. Although you certainly can if you wish, just a suggestion. It’s also good because it doesn’t dry or tighten your skin after using it like other products do. Recommended (both)!
Olay Fresh Effects {Bright On Schedule!} Eye Awakening Cream – $12.99
This eye roller is pretty good! Its tri-roller balls make it cool to the touch which makes the puffiness go down. The cream is very lightweight so it’s perfect to wear under concealer/makeup because it dries fast and won’t get cakey once the makeup is applied. Recommended!
Olay Fresh Effects {BB Cream!} Skin Perfecting Tinted Moisturizer with Sunscreen (Light-to-Medium) – $12.99
I tried these out and I didn’t like them that much. It might be because the BB cream that I currently use is a little thicker and offers better coverage. This BB cream is very lightweight and doesn’t offer much color; goes on almost clear and smells a lot like sunscreen. It does have SPF but it feels like it’s a sunscreen with a hint of color instead of a BB cream with tint and SPF, if that makes any sense. I also found it to be too liquidy. This product is good if you don’t really care for coverage or if you want to use it as a sunscreen under your foundation. Only recommended if you don’t care for tinted coverage.
Overall, I’m very pleased with this line of products because they work very well and are affordable, as well as available practically everywhere. Definitely check them out.
